Thisis so sad; from a proud, strong country to the laughing stock of theworld.

Canadians'Version of David Letterman's Top 10. Just makes you want to shake yourhead in disbelief, and, just maybe choke someone incharge.

Thisis Canada 's Top Ten List of America 's Stupidity.#10 Only in America ... could politicians talk about the greed of the richat a $35,000.00 per plate Obama campaign fund-raising event.

# 09Only in America... could people claim that the government stilldiscriminates against black Americans when they have a black President, ablack Attorney General and roughly 20% of the federal workforce is blackwhile only 14% of the population is black, 40+% of all federalentitlements goes to black Americans - 3X the rate that go to whites, 5Xthe rate that go to Hispanic

# 08 Only in America... could theyhave had the two people most responsible for our tax code, TimothyGeithner (the head of the Treasury Department) and Charles Rangel (whoonce ran the Ways and Means Committee), BOTH turn out to be tax cheats whoare in favor of higher taxes.

# 07 Only in America... can they haveterrorists kill people in the name of Allah and have the media primarilyreact by fretting that Muslims might be harmed by the backlash.

#06 Only in America... would they make people who want to legally becomeAmerican citizens wait for years in their home countries and pay tens ofthousands of dollars for the privilege, while they discuss letting anyonewho sneaks into the country illegally just 'magically' become Americancitizens. (probably should be number one)

# 05 Only in America ...could the people who believe in balancing the budget and sticking by thecountry's Constitution be called EXTREMISTS

# 04 Only in America... could you need to present a driver's license to cash a check or buyalcohol, but not to vote.

# 03 Only in America ... could peopledemand the government investigate whether oil companies are gouging thepublic because the price of gas went up when the return on equity investedin a major U.S. Oil company (Marathon Oil) is less than half of a companymaking tennis shoes (Nike).

# 02 Only in America... could youcollect more tax dollars from the people than any nation in recordedhistory, still spend a Trillion dollars more than it has per year - fortotal spending of $7 Million PER MINUTE, and complain that it doesn't havenearly enough money.

# 01 Only in America.... could the rich people- who pay 86% of all income taxes - be accused of not paying their "fairshare" by people who don't pay any income taxes at all.

Bonus: "Only in America do you have to pass a drug test to get a pay check, yetany crack head can get their welfare check no questions asked."

Good old RWD loves to kiss up and punch down.

The 86% figure doesn't make much sense. Mitt RMoney - who destroyed many good paying US jobs via Bain and bankruptcy, while walking away with millions for himself, alone - claimed that 47% of US workers don't pay FEDERAL income tax. That figure may be closer to accurate, but of course, it only acknowledging federal taxes and completely ignores state & local taxes, plus a range of other regressive taxes on gas, food, retail, etc.

The other side of the equation is that federal taxes are for income only, and many wealthy people don't earn income. They enjoy capital gains on their vast investments, which are taxed at the way lower rate of 15% or less. When Mitt RMoney released his tax statements for one year only, his entire taxation was less 17%. Cry me river about all the terrible unfair taxes that rich people pay... not.
